Who would you want to play the captain in Trek series 6

Let's look to the future. It's 2012.
Say a Trek live-action series 6 gets greenlit and it will NOT have any lead Captains from Star Trek XI. (Chris Pine, Bruce Greenwood)

Perhaps there would be a single cameo from Pine or Greenwood during the entire season 1.

Who would you like to play the captain of the next starship that a Trek series 6 is based on?
[From your fantasy wishlist and then perhaps a little more realistic of an actor who would commit to 5 years of a TV series.]
I'm just going to throw a few names there and suggest Michael Beach. He would be 48 in 2012.Adam Beach he would be about 40

Hey, here's a compromise. We could have a Medusan captain, during a time when Medusans have perfected humanoid exoskeletons in order to fit in with other Federation species. The Medusan could be played by Ben Browder as the exoskeleton, without the character being white, male or even humanoid.

Oooh. I'd love to see a captain played by Christopher Eccleston. He'd just look badass in a Captain Uniform, although, I'd hate to see him play a French man, like another british badass we know.

Of course, you do realise no sooner than he's appeared on screen, he'll have probably already decided to leave don't you?

Not necessarily a bad thing... the captain losing his command in a mutiny could be a decent arc for the first season. His first officer would have to popular enough to carry the series once he's gone though...
